On that day, the General's Mansion was in a state of joy, but by coincidence, many noble ladies from the capital suddenly went out for an outing together.

"Hmph, I heard that she shamelessly visited Gu's house several times, she must be thinking of asking for help!"

"Bah! Sure enough, a wild girl who grew up in the countryside just doesn't know etiquette. What kind of family is the Gu family? Is that something she can cling to whenever she wants?"

At this time, Zuo Xiangling, who wanted to discuss marriage with the Gu family but was told that her horoscopes were not compatible, froze and could only raise a cup of tea to cover up her embarrassment. She was one of the people who went to the bookstore to order books, and she ordered the most books, just to make Xiao Ning lose face.

She had only been in the capital for a short time and knew a few people. Even if those idiots from the Shen family really wanted to help her, how many books could one person publish? The only uncertain factor that makes people worry is the Gu family. I heard that Gu Ruoruo and Xiao Ning are familiar with each other, and I wonder if they will help.

Thinking of this, Zuo Xiangling bit her lip.

It's just that the Gu family thinks so highly of themselves that they opened a dyeing shop just to give them some color. The Zuo family took the initiative to show their kindness, but they even put on airs to exclude the Zuo family.

Do you really think there are no good people except them in the entire capital? A group of poor scholars who want money but not money, power but not power, yet they still take themselves seriously.

When she finds a better marriage, she will definitely make the Gu family regret it!

I was thinking, and suddenly I heard someone say, "It's not good, His Royal Highness actually goes to the wild ... Go to the Xiao Ning and the gift!"

"What? Didn't His Royal Highness just come back from Luozhou not long ago? And why is he related to the Xiao family?"

"It must be Xiao Ning who is repeating his old trick, just like sending invitations to the Gu family, asking for it shamelessly!"

The ladies became more and more anxious as they talked, and it didn't take long for them to get on the carriage one by one with their skirts in hand, as if they had gone a step early so that the prince could take a few more glances and follow him into the East Palace.

In fact, let alone them, even the Xiao family did not expect the prince to come. Xiao Ran couldn't hide her disgust: "We didn't send them a post. What do you call this? Coming uninvited?"

Gu Changan also doesn't like the Yan family, but compared to his personal dislike, he cares more about the smooth progress of the entire ceremony.

Xiao Ran also knew this truth well, so she curled her lips and said, "That's all, I'll just add an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks. I hope he can get out of here as soon as he finishes his meal."

Gu Changan patted the back of her hand gently, which made her angry, so he took the initiative to greet her.

The prince took advantage of the situation and said to Gu Chang'an: "When I came back alone, I didn't have time to prepare any gifts. I heard that Miss Xiao was planning to build a library for my father, so I wanted to do my best."

He pointed to the "gift pile" behind him that was hard to ignore: "These are some books from the Prince's Mansion. I hope they can help Miss Xiao solve her urgent need."

Just as Gu Changan turned to look at the pile of books, a new customer happened to arrive at the door, and the business smile he had been trying to force out suddenly froze.

A carriage that he would never forget in his life slowly stopped outside the gate. The curtain was opened, and Academician Gu who walked out looked particularly energetic today. Gu Ruoruo was looking at his grandfather in confusion.

She was going to attend Xiao Ning's haircut ceremony today. She was a little excited. She planned to get up before dawn to pick out clothes and accessories. She thought she was already early, but she didn't expect that when she passed by the yard, she saw her grandfather who had already washed and dressed up and asked the housekeeper. : "How do you feel about this body?"

Grandpa the housekeeper looked up at the sky: "Master, this is already the third set of clothes you have changed into."

He also muttered: "The new clothes I made throughout the year are not as good as these days."

Then Grandpa Zu asked Grandpa the housekeeper: "Then do you think this outfit is more suitable for my jasper crown or the white jade crown?"

Why did she feel that grandpa's behavior today was just like when they were children during the Chinese New Year, wearing new clothes and jewelry, and asking people if they looked good or not.

When she saw the eyes of grandfather and grandfather meeting, Gu Ruoruo felt that she vaguely understood something.

The two people's eyes only met for a moment, almost as soon as they met, they each pretended to move away casually, and then Gu Changan stepped forward and bowed: "Welcome..."

He, who had always been very eloquent, was suddenly at a loss for words, and Grand Scholar Gu was also visibly uncomfortable.

Just as he was embarrassed, he heard crisp laughter coming from the door.

"Is grandpa here?"

Academician Gu turned around and saw a young girl wearing pink clothes with bright eyes and white teeth standing on the threshold and smiling at him. Then she jumped across the threshold and came to him, moving him back and forth. Looked around.

"Ah, grandfather and father look like brothers when they stand together!"

Gu Ruoruo's heart tightened. Grandpa was usually very serious. The last person who dared to make fun of him, now the house is still empty and grass grows after the house was ransacked. Xiaoxiao was so bold as to hit the muzzle of the gun!

Just as she was about to help her friend try to save things, she heard Grandpa Zu say in a tone she had never heard in her life: "You are Xiao Ning, right?"

Xiaoxiao held up her skirt and saluted seriously: "Xiao Ning has met my grandfather."

"Thank you very much, grandpa, for coming to me as a hairdresser. As soon as you came, not only did the general's mansion shine, but even my father's face glowed red, and he couldn't hide his joy!"

Gu Changan really blushed, but he didn't refute.

Academician Gu gave him a look of disdain: "Your daughter hasn't learned how to speak and understand etiquette yet. What are you doing in a daze? Leading the way? Do you want your father to stand outside all the time?"

Gu Changan was stunned. When he looked up at his father, his eyes were a little red, but he still nodded seriously: "Yes, Dad."

Gu Ruoruo was dumbfounded and couldn't help but secretly give Xiaoxiao a thumbs up.

Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes and smiled: "Hey, there's my eldest niece too! Come on, come on, I'll take you in!"

The eldest niece was annoyed: "We agreed that we should be friends with each other!"

Xiaoxiao teased her: "Okay, okay, then let me bring the lovely Miss Ruoruo in?"

She leaned into Gu Ruoruo's ear and whispered: "There's still a while until the banquet. Are you hungry? The kitchen has prepared snacks for you, would you like some?"

That must be possible! Gu Ruoruo's eyes shone brightly, and she even forgot about the low-key words that Grandpa Grandpa said before he came. He waved his little hand and pointed behind him and said, "Here, that is the haircut gift that Grandpa Grandpa specially ordered to give you."

Xiaoxiao followed her hand and took a look, oh, good guy, half a carriage of books!

The prince originally showed off his gifts with the intention of showing kindness, but after being compared with the Gu family, he fell down. At this time, he could not wait for Gu Changan to come to greet him again, so he quickly walked into the mansion with the servant.

If he waits any longer, he can't afford to lose that person.

When the noble ladies arrived, they learned that the prince had already entered, and they immediately wanted to go in reluctantly. At that time, Gu Changan was greeting the Gu family, and Xiao Ran was enjoying the joy of dressing up her daughter and couldn't stop.

She was in a good mood at the moment. Looking at her daughter's exquisite appearance in the mirror, she couldn't help but feel the desire to show off, so she sneered: "Then let them come in, and open another table for them. Don't let them go." These idiots are disrupting the enjoyment of our guests."

After saying that, she raised her hand to straighten Xiaoxiao's temples: "It might as well show them how beautiful I am, the only daughter of the General's Mansion, as beautiful as a fairy, as cute as ice and snow."
